These Fashion Grandpas On Instagram Will Teach You A Thing Or Two About Street Style

If you associate old aged men with orthopaedic shoes and high-waisted trousers, think again. Now there's a new breed of style-savvy grandpa taking the internet by storm.

Fashion Grandpas is a new Instagram account documenting male pensioners with a penchant for the latest fashion. And we can't get enough.

From statement suit jackets to bow ties with a twist, the men are captured by the anonymous female creator. All we know about her is that she takes pictures with a Go Pro attached to her head.

Now, Fashion Grandpas may seem like a oxymoron in itself, but it's hard to argue against strong sartorial instinct of these chaps. Take a look for yourself.

It isn't the first time we've seen senior style documented in such a way.

Back in 2009, photographer Ari Seth Cohen created a blog, Advanced Style, which celebrates the style of the older ladies of Manhattan. Fast forward five years and Advanced Style has now become a documentary film.

Speaking to HuffPost UK Lifestyle earlier this year, Ari said that he hadn't anticipated the blog making a move to the big screen.

"I knew that the women I was photographing had incredible stories to tell. It wasn't until director Lina Plioplyte approached me about making some videos of the ladies for my blog that I thought about the possibility of making a film.

"It happened really organically. We just couldn't stop filming and four and half years later the film is finally finished," he said.

With never-ending pictures of young, svelte models and anti-ageing adverts around every corner, the media has created an invisible age for older women. But this film helps to redefine our idea of old age.

Ari believes young women could also learn from the documentary: "The Advanced Style ladies are confident, bold, expressive, and incredibly vital. I hope younger women are inspired by their freedom and individuality," he said.
